Foreword
Appropriate use
The optional encoder cards are exclusively intended for application in the optional rear slot of a servo drive from the AX5000 series. The cards are
installed together with the servo drive as components in electrical systems and machinery and may only be used in this way.
Security
Safety rules
The responsible staff must ensure that the application or use of the products described satisfy all the requirements for safety, including all the
relevant laws, regulations and guidelines.
DANGER
Caution – Danger of death!
Even when the AX5000 is disconnected from the mains voltage, dangerous voltage continues to be present at the "X02" terminals
of the DC link for 5 minutes. Never touch the terminals within this period.
WARNING
Caution – Risk of injury!
Electronic equipment is not fail-safe. The machine manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the connected motors and the
machine are brought into a safe state in the event of a fault in the drive system.
Attention
Destruction of the optional encoder card through electrostatic charging!
The optional encoder card is an ESD-sensitive component. Follow the usual ESD safety procedures when handling the card (anti-
static wrist straps, earthing of the relevant components, etc.).
Personnel qualification
This description is only intended for trained specialists in control, automation and drive engineering who are familiar with the applicable national
standards. Knowledge of machine safety legislation is compulsory.
Product description
The optional encoder card enables connection of an additional feedback systems per channel. The system parameters match the standard
parameters that are analysed via inputs X11 and X21. Through simple configuration via jumpers up to six further digital inputs (In “A” to In “F”) can
be analysed, which are provided through special feedback systems via parameter channels. The X41 and X42 sockets are compatible with the
plugs of the X11 and X21 front sockets of the AX5000, which means that the tried and tested cables from the ZK4510 series can be used. To
analyse the additional digital inputs you simply have to insert an adapter or establish a suitable wiring. The optional encoder card cannot be used as
Commutation-Feedbacksystem (primary).

Type key
Note
Operation of the optional encoder card
The AX5701 can only be used in single-channel servo drives, the AX5702 can only be used in two-channel servo drives.
AX5701 – optional encoder card for single-channel servo drives
AX5702 – optional encoder card for two-channel servo drives
Description of the digital inputs
Note
Functional reliability
Ensure that the ground potentials of the digital inputs “A” to “D” are connected with the ground potential of the AX5000.
Inputs “A” to “D” are “single-wire” inputs (single-ended). They have a certain potential to ground, which is analysed.
Inputs “E” and “F” are “two-wire inputs” (differential). They require (+) and (-) and analyse the voltage difference between the conductors.
